I can see why!

In the end everything is relative, isn’t it?

Value, perceptions, truth, money, relationships, health.

And even that is fleeting and momentary. What you find valuable right this instant changes in the next instant.

Low value now might be the highest value in a moment.

Deciding on a value comparison is only as good as the instant the person wants to be good at that job. And what they think is interesting changes as fast as you can blink.

It reasons, if you slow that down just a slight bit, the comparison between individuals and what the are good at would likely have differences too.

It’s all in the nuance. Everything is.

I wonder what you were up to right before you wrote this. Sounds like a very zen mood! :-)

I loved reading this. My main objective is to make extra income so I can travel better or travel more. I love making digital planners and thought I could make more income by selling them. If I put in 2 years effort I could have a new passive income stream but I worked out that I could make more with less effort by maintaining the pattern business. So now I play with the journals and planners and my jewellery making and put money making effort into the patterns.
